If these shoes last 10+ years then they will be affordable since you won't need to keep buying more and more shoes over the years. However, to each their own. They have more "normal" looking shoes on their website too. Thanks for watching!
I personally think shoes like this look like dookie, but that's besides the point. I do believe 3D printed shoes or anything printable for that matter will be normalized in the future. Especially since 3D printers are becoming more and more plug and play and affordable. I wouldn't call these ones affordable though, not unless you can print them yourself.
If you consider that most shoes last 1-2 years, these ones should last 10+ years (in my opinion). Therefore, if they cost 2x the price but last 5x as long, they are actually affordable, all things considered. I agree that 3D-printed shoes will be the future of most manufacturing. It's just a matter of time before the intricacies are worked out and the cost of production is lowered. Printing yourself may be an option in the future, but for now, Zellerfeld uses custom-made 3D printers and custom filament materials designed in-house. Thanks for watching!

When they ask for you to pay, does that mean they are ready to print my shoes right after I pay? Or is there still a wait time after I pay the full amount?
2:56 that's factually incorrect. You're telling me just because it's plastic, it cannot hold onto smell-producing fungus or bacteria? Have you ever worn a synthetic shirt? Have you ever owned a pair of Crocs? If it's due to some antibacterial additive, then tell us. And this would be a great time to tell us that you threw them in the washing machine, and they came out like they were new.
The future....for ultra casual maybe. Their website sucks. Not interested until I can view the shoes up close, and definitely not interested in an odd looking, plastic, 3D printed shoe for that high of cost.
Not sure if you watched the video all the way through, but the "plastic" they use is designed by engineers in-house and is SUPER comfortable and breathable. No odours, and is fitted to your exact foot using pics from your smart phone. Mine fits perfectly. Furthermore, they're so backed up with orders that they're not really marketing or trying to enhance their website too much at the moment. 3D-printing opens the doors for extreme customization, not only with aesthetics, but with performance as well. Adidas and other major brands have introduced partially 3D printed shoes too. It will be the future of shoes for sure, just a matter of time. Thanks for watching!
Is 3D printing the future of fashion? 🤔
yep
Absolutly amazing!! Stylish, sleek and practical! 3D printing is the future for everything. Very well done 👌 great review video very informative
Thanks for watching! I agree - I think the future will be highly customizable because of advanced manufacturing methods, i.e. 3D printing.

Unfortunately their foot scanning actually doesn't do anything. It's not a 3d scan of your foot
These are sick! I have one coming, and I am so excited! Would you say they will be good for working out or just for daily life?
Not sure tbh. The ones I have are casual shoes for fashion. They do have runners on their site though so maybe those ones?
Durable shoes for school kids, we just need something casual and affordable

Driving over a shoe is not a durability test... Try dragging it behind a car and you'll learn more about it's durability.

My two pairs are „printing“ since almost 3 weeks …
Yeah, my second pair said “ready to print” 2 weeks ago. Their demand is outrageous. Worth the wait though! Which design did you choose?
When they ask for you to pay, does that mean they are ready to print my shoes right after I pay? Or is there still a wait time after I pay the full amount?
@ they start printing very soon after payment, within a couple of days from my experience.

I wouldn't have the courage to run it over with my car but I'm glad you did lol. I think I'll order some.
You’re gonna love them!
